The only fact of evidence you must work with is the $40,000.00 income.
PLEASE WORK THE 10 QUESTIONS BELOW:
1) WHAT IS YOUR EVIDENCE FOR THE OPTION OF BUYING A HOUSE?
2) WHAT IS YOUR INTERPRETATION OF EVIDENCE OFFERED FOR THE OPTION OF BUYING A HOUSE?
3) WHAT IS EVIDENCE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR OPTION OF RENTING AN APARTMENT?
4) WHAT IS YOUR INTERPRETATION OF EVIDENCE OFFERED IN CONSIDERATION OF OPTION TO RENT AN APARTMENT?
5) WHAT IS EVIDENCE RELATED TO OPTION OF MOVING IN WITH FAMILY?
6) WHAT IS YOUR INTERPRETATION OF EVIDENCE OFFERED REGARDING OPTION TO MOVE IN WITH FAMILY?
7) WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE RELATING TO OPTION TO LIVE IN YOUR CAR?
8) WHAT IS YOUR INTERPRETATION OF EVIDENCE OFFERED REGARDING OPTION TO LIVE IN YOUR CAR?
9) EXPLAIN THE REASONING INVOLVED IN YOUR OVERALL EVALUATION OF THE EVIDENCE REGARDING EACH OPTION AND LEADING TO A DECISION/CONCLUSION.
10) IN ONE WELL DEVELOPED COMPOUND STATEMENT STATE YOUR CHOICE/DECISION BASED ON THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED AND YOUR EVALUATION OF IT.
GENERIC PROACTIVE TASK COMPONENTS
SCENARIO: defines the problem, situation/issue being faced.
GOAL: the GOAL statement is a highly clarified [enabling skill] statement that requires ‘genus/species’ thinking. For example….a scenario in which you have an injury or are sick would be clarified as a ‘physical or health problem’; a scenario in which you spend more than you have to spend would be abstractly clarified as a ‘financial or money management problem’. The GOAL statement should be brief and to the point! Clear understanding of the solution you are seeking is a first step in creating a logical plan to reach it. Remember a goal is an outcome you desire to achieve.
PROCEDURE: the procedure linearly outlines the actions to be taken to respond to scenario. It relates to the questions…..what am I really dealing with? How do I need to respond? What steps do I take? What information do I need to gather? What could I do? What will I do?
EVIDENCE: courts require any relevant information for consideration to be first introduced into evidence before it can be considered later – you must do the same!
Note: for the purpose of efficiency the organization of ‘evidence’ in a ‘pro/con’ form is common. However, this is acceptable, but not technically correct because it requires evaluation of the evidence which is ideally intended to occur in the REASONING section.
REASONING: the systematic evaluation of the evidence to determine the course of action{s} most supported by the premise[s] considered. Explaining the interpretation of the evidence. Establishing reasons. EXPLAINING YOUR THINKING IN DETAIL!
CONCLUSION: the action[s] the objective evaluation of the evidence led to; the solution; chosen way to reach GOAL.
Proactive Thinking Task
Directions:The Proactive Thinking Task is an exercise in making an informed, objective choice/conclusion.- There are 4 specific options you have been given to evaluate.- You are not writing an argument(s).- On D2L[GaView] you will have space to enter the evidence you are considering for each option = 10 points [10 x 4 = 40 points]- You will have space to enter your interpretation of the evidence presented = 10 points. Pro/con thinking should be part of your interpretation of evidence. [10 x 4 = 40 points]- You will have space to enter your reasoning in considering the evidence & interpretation of each option leading to a decision/conclusion = 10 points.- In the REASONING response you want to explain your interpretation of the evidence and why 3 of the 4 options were not selected.- You will then state your conclusion statement in space provided = 10 points.- Total possible points = 100.- I encourage you to read the guidelines carefully and schedule a phone conference if you are not clear on how to complete task.
Regarding evidence on Proactive Thinking Task….
The only fact of evidence you must work with is the $40,000.00 income.The other evidence you use in consideration of each option is up to you to make up.Consider what type of info/evidence would be important to consider if you were actually making a real life decision on where to live.Also keep in mind that you want to create evidence that includes pros & cons, but ultimately makes it easy for you to eliminate 3 of the 4 options.The key point is whether your evidence, interpretation, & reasoning support the conclusion you reach.
Take time to consider the role of the PROCEDURE component in objective critical thinking problem solving……
PROCEDURE aka…Method, Directions, Recipe, Plan:
– a linear sequential series of incremental steps leading to a goal/outcome/conclusion.
– guidance on how to move forward into a process and to completion of the process.
– how to get from ‘A’ to ‘B’.
Remember the PROCEDURE requires you to use the analysis enabling skill to deliberately take apart and specify the necessary steps involved to meet your goal to reach an INFORMED CONCLUSION on how to solve your problem.
Consider & specify all the variables that would be relevant to your goal – including all options possible to solve the problem & the evaluation of specific evidence relevant to each of the options.
So, if you follow your ‘directions’ they will take you to the achievement of your GOAL.
Therefore, if you follow your ‘recipe’, it will yield the result you have identified as GOAL.
Your PROCEDURE should be in following linear sequential format –
-
______________
______________
______________
______________
______________
______________
Use as many steps as you need leading to last steps which will be –
-
Reach Informed Conclusion
Think of it this way, imagine the scenario is real & you are sitting at your kitchen table & you are considering your problem & you write down a plan[PROCEDURE] of all the things you will want to do tomorrow in order to make an objective decision[INFORMED CONCLUSION] on how to solve your problem. You have not reached any conclusions or even considered options, in PROCEDURE you are only stating your plan to reach your GOAL. You will follow your plan to reach your goal/objective.
